BTW: how does that street view thing work...a mobile unit out with video, or stills, or...?? Car looks killer!

In our area there was a black econobox driving down each street taking shots. I can tell you within an hour of when they went down my daughter's street; between 2 & 3 PM on October 8th, 2008. They caught my truck & trailer in her driveway the day we moved her into her new house.

Their address search engine is a little off though. If you put my daughter's correct address in it shows the house two doors South.

Big Brother is here and he's about as accurate as we'd expect!

Gerry did the allignment. I had the steering box rebuilt added a longer pitman and idler arm and adjustable strut rods,beefed up the front sway bar,gas shocks and disc brakes. Also added a rear sway bar. All of the aforementioned is necessary to dial in a mopar so that it tracks down the road.About as good as it gets without going to a tubular front end. Riding on 245-60-15.

That's a pretty cool shot Paul. Not too many of us get our cars featured on Google street view. Thankfully it wasn't parked in front of your house!

Here's a street view car I saw in Calgary this past April.

When the car was taking pictures of Huntsville I wanted to stand in various yards and wave at it while holding funny signs.... I may do it in the next town if I can get advance notice.... Maybe keep racing around him on secondary streets and get the Nova into a few dozen driveways before he gets there....
